IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…&nbsp;you’ll meet Robert Waldinger, M.D., who leads an extraordinary scientific study on happiness that’s still going strong after eight decades.&nbsp;The study set out to understand human health by what made people&nbsp;thrive.Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked two groups of men and their families with the goal of discovering what really makes for a good life. Along the way, thousands of questions were asked, and hundreds of measurements were taken—from brain scans to blood work. Three strong themes emerged from the study:&nbsp;<ul><li>Social connections are&nbsp;really&nbsp;good for you. Loneliness kills.</li><li>It’s the&nbsp;quality&nbsp;of your close relationships that matters.</li><li>Good close relationships don’t just&nbsp;protect your body, they&nbsp;protect your brain.</li></ul>Dr. Waldinger combined those lifelong case studies with modern psychological research in his new book, co-authored with Marc Schulz, Ph.D., “<a href="https://the-good-life-book.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness</a>." This discussion gives you real-life tools to hack your happiness. You’ll learn things like:<ul><li>how relationships improve your physical, mental and emotional health. (More than you know!)</li><li>how to evaluate the effect of your relationships on your well-being. (Don’t be dragged down.)</li><li>what social fitness is and how to practice it. (Yes, it’s a flex.)</li><li>ways to enliven and energize your relationships. (Energy totally matters.)</li><li>why casual and work relationships matter more than you think. (A surprisingly big contribution.)</li></ul>Watch this episode on&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/F2bHl2rclBA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>!Don’t Miss This!&nbsp;Dr. Waldinger’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/robert_waldinger_what_makes_a_good_life_lessons_from_the_longest_study_on_happiness?language=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TEDtalk</a>&nbsp;about the study is one of TED’s Top 10 episodes and viewed more than 43 million times.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
